..... t there was any omission and / or suppression on the part of the assessee in not disclosing the true and correct facts. If that be so, it cannot be said that the learned tribunal has committed any error in holding the reassessment proceedings for the Assessment Year 2003-04 as bad in law. We confirm the finding recorded by the learned tribunal that initiation of the reassessment proceedings for the Assessment Year 2003-04 was not permissible and was not legal and as such was bad in law. Under the circumstances, the learned tribunal has rightly not considered the appeal preferred by the revenue which was on merits of deletion of disallowance under Section 80IB of the Act.
